Trouble in EDM paradise? The Skrillex & Deadmau5 Twitter Beef Continues

Is there trouble in EDM paradise? The Skrillex and Deadmau5 beef continues on Twitter for some major news today in the electronic music industry. But Deadmau5 has been in social media beefs with the likes of David Guetta and Arcade Fire and this most recent one is no exception.

This latest beef between Skrillex and Deadmau5 has largely occurred due to the recent involvement with pop crooner, Justin Bieber, and their collaboration on "Sorry." But according to Stereogum, this is not the first argument that the two have had online due to Skrillex's recent pop contributions.

When Deadmau5 originally called out his fellow producer for teaming up with Jack U to create a remix of "Where Are U Now," Skrillex called him out for being "kind of an assh*le."

Deadmau5 subsequently shot back with an entire string of tweets insulting Skrillex and his recent forays into the pop world.

YourEDM reported that to call the producer out Skrillex tweeted, "@deadmau5 I dont care about ur personal career but the fact that u own ur own record label is sad. I feel sorry the artists you've signed." The publication took screenshots before the tweets were deleted by PR personnel.

He further said, "@deadmau5 youre great at finding talented people but ur leadership skills are atrocious. I'm sure you don't care tho."

And then Deadmau5 retorted with, "@Skrillex the fact that I own a record label is sad? OK. It's a sad label. Let's have a cry. I don't tell my artists what to do. Clearly."

Skrillex replied with "@deadmau5 no it's sad the people on your label have the worst label head ever aka you bro."

But Deadmau5 gave a serious burn to Skrillex with, "@Skrillex tell you what. Lemme borrow the lil popstar for a week, mash together a radio hit in 23 minutes, and will be good label! Yay!"
